An old Mallard dines alone
A memory on the edge of the flock
A weaker yet still viable member
An inattentive sentry
Sifting grey mud
Chasing soggy bread crumbs
The sun warms his weary wings
As the river draws him away
A Great Blue Heron nods G’Day
Companion.
Comparable, compassionate compatibility.
Committal, compound or common availability.
Glorification panoistic or repudiation ability.
Inattentive, inappreciable, impudent cruelity.
Repletion straggled and monolith joky stability.
Licentious, monolatry rendering ostensibility.
We can smell the fear in their voice
we can feel the anger on their breath
celebrate the inner
detox their guilt
choose calm
re access...
search for your star
and claim it...
Enjoy the journey...
The positive peaceful mindset
looks on...
...As more and more idiots...
have inattentive moments...
Where is the shepherd
Who left behind his livestock
At the Lover's Seat?
The hired hand sleeps
Inattentive to the flock
The sheep go their way
They are unaware
There is danger near the cliffs
Though the grass is sweet
Where is the Shepherd
Will he retrieve his people
From the Sinner's Seat?
"I'll have a number six meal with a coke to go please."
"What will you have to drink with that?" McDonalds asked me.
"A coke," I repeated, "to go please."
"Will that be to stay or to go?" asked the inattentive employee.
"To go," I said gritting my teeth.
Every time at McDonalds it's the same old thing.
The next time I get hungry, I'm going to Burger King.
Was it something I said inadvertently
Did my eyes reveal uncertainty
O, why'd you leave
Was my rapt listening inattentive
Or passion's kisses uninventive
O, how I grieve
Alcohol, not once did I abuse
Or narcotics ever use
O, the sighs I've heaved
To the kids, I was devoted
On your mother, I always doted
O, please believe...
That now I'll never be the same
That I'll forever myself blame
~ To your memory, I will cleave
Estranged
He walks about with twelve toes.
They talk about the landing of UFOs over walkie-talkies,
and bog the sympathy of spectators
with manufactured grief,
making their feelings lose contact
with the breaking world.
Nobody could close the Grand Canyon in the soul of a demon who wishes to share his stories with inattentive passers-by
behind face masks and headphones.
Roaming around,
down in the dirt,
with a forgotten passport
that has no facial code
in Times Square.
